    Default Monitors....?

    What would you say is the best quality monitors.??
    At the moment im listening to through my hi fi! I know the sound you get from it, but good monitors would be great.

    I cant afford them yet though, just wanted some views.
    I wouldnt be expecting to pay like a thousand pounds, just a couple hundred.

    alot of people dont like the fostex PM2 series for electronic music, since many hiphop people use it but i think its great.

    hasnt let me down since the first day i bought it (knock on wood)

    Behringer ones are whack. Really whack.
    After about half an hour your ears will be ringing and after about two hours you will have blown them up...

    I know 3 people that went against my advice and bought a pair, 2 of them blew thiers up and one is just pissed off that he ever bought them.

    I recently sold my KRK K-roks on ebay and they only went for £80!! if you can get a pair of KRK's at that price i would say dont hesitate. You'll need an amp though but a samson 260 will do fine (about £90 SH)

    Ive recently moved to Fostex PM-2's and while they get a little ear-grating at very high volume (they are loud bastards though) i think they are excellent and my mixes have been coming out much cleaner since using them. For £500 you cant go wrong.

    On a budget id look for some second hand K-ROKs..

    There is nothing else that compares at even double the price i sold the KRKs for....

    yeah, i reckon a second hand pair might be the way to go for the money,
    my behringers seem allright to me , allthough i only use them on my decks and use mackies for monitoring my own mixdowns so i guess i hardly listen to them that long as i`m so shit on a pair of decks i rarely last 15 minutes on mine :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Monitors and Soundcard are the core on any up to date system DO NOT CHEAP OUT on these!!!


    ADAM P11a are my babyes!!

    Not very expensive 4 the quality...

    Other names in the game are Genelec 1030a, Mackie HR824...

    I'd go 4 my Adam's any day!!

    If could afford I would have got the S range but it's a bit much for my little room!

    In case of doubt go for the Tannoy, M-Audio ain't all that brilliant in they're linearity or "stereoness" ;)
